Industry News: John Deere, MacDon Form Agreement

MacDon Industries Ltd. will manufacture select models of John Deere-branded self-propelled windrowers, including draper and auger headers, and pull-type auger mower-conditioners, as part of a recent agreement.

“This agreement allows us to expand the John Deere hay and forage product portfolio to better serve our dairy, livestock, commercial hay and small grains customers,” says William Norton, a John Deere vice president.

John Deere will also continue to manufacture select models, offering dealers and customers an expanded product line of self-propelled windrowers.

“This is a very logical step in a relationship that goes back over 30 years,” said Allan MacDonald, MacDon president & CEO. “We are excited about the opportunity to work with Deere in bringing some of the best windrowing products available to these market sectors.”
